Abstract
A computer algorithm for designing sheet Pb tissue compensators is described. Corrections are made for scatter within the radiation field as well as the shape of the patient for the mantle fields used in treating Hodgkin''s disease. The method was tested experimentally with a phantom and was clinically acceptable. The advantages of employing this technique with parallel opposed fields are emphasized.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
